The Manning brothers won Super Bowls one year apart. The gap between them becoming fathers wasn't nearly as long.

Just 10 days later, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and his wife, Ashley, welcomed the arrivals of of twins Marshall Williams Manning and Mosley Thompson Manning, according to the Neshoba Democrat, a newspaper in Philadelphia, Miss. (the hometown of Olivia Manning, Peyton's and Eli's mother).

The twins' birth likely is the reason Peyton Manning did not attend Wednesday's court hearing in St. Paul, Minn., where a federal judge heard motion from both sides in the Tom Brady et al v. NFL lawsuit. Peyton Manning is one of 10 players whose name is on the suit.

Peyton and Eli may not be keeping their passing arms as sharp as they'd like during the lockout, but now they can practice their skills at audibling off from diaper changing to bottle feeding.
